The USS Britannic (NCC-98576) is an Adamant-class starship.

The Adamant-class was commissioned on stardate 57125.3 as a heavy explorer. However, the Britannic and two of her sister ships were refit into massive mobile hospitals. The refit was an efficient and profitable decision; the Adamants are quite a bit larger than the standard Olympic-class hospitals, and they are designed to hold nearly 10,000 victims, passengers, evacuees, etcetera.

The Britannic has a dedicated staff of 175 and 525 crew, most of them employed by the medical division in some way. Her current CO, Commander Dallas Zea, is a human male who until recently served as her chief of medicine.

Britannic is named for the HMHS Britannic, largest of the Cunard Olympic-class liners from Earth's early twentieth century. The HMHS Britannic was designed as a transatlantic commercial liner, but was pressed into service as a hospital ship during the First World War. She struck a mine and sank in 1916.

Britannic's last-reported position was en route back to Starbase 82, following a mission to the Andorian colony Yeva, which had experienced a nasty outbreak of jikarrety. Britannic has, however, changed course, and is headed for Starbase 118 to assist with that facility's pandemic.
